NEWS RELEASE
AN EVENING AT HOGWARTS
*********************************
The enchantment returns to The Machine Shop on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, as An Evening at Hogwarts: The Half-Blood Prince once again casts its spell on the community.
This fan-favourite fundraiser, known for its immersive Hogwarts experience, themed décor, and magical surprises, continues to support Sault Area Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Care Program.
More than just a themed gala, this event is a cherished local tradition, a night that unites families, friends, and businesses across the Sault in a shared mission: to bring comfort, hope, and healing to those affected by cancer.
Back by popular demand, the Wee Wizard event offers an enchanting daytime experience for families before the evening gala begins. Attendees can immerse themselves in the Hogwarts spirit with magical activities, themed stations, photo ops, and the chance to meet costumed characters. Though this portion of the event is geared towards younger guests, wizards, witches, and muggles of all ages are welcome!
Created to inspire imagination and joy, Wee Wizard brings the magic of the wizarding world to life, engaging the next generation of Hogwarts fans while helping raise funds for local cancer care. Tickets for both events are in high demand, with a limited number remaining for the Wee Wizard daytime event, while the evening gala is already sold out!
As one wise wizard once said, “Help will always be given at Hogwarts.”
On Nov. 8, help will be given right here in Sault Ste. Marie. Whether you’re attending the Wee Wizard event with your family or dressing in your House colours for the gala, your participation helps deliver hope and care to those who need it most.
Come for the magic. Stay for the cause. Together, we’ll make this a night — and a day — where community and compassion shine.
Together, An Evening at Hogwarts SSM stands with Sault Area Hospital Foundation and all those affected by cancer, united to make outstanding care possible. Having raised over $184,000 since the event's inception, we look forward to continuing this journey of hope and healing year after year.
